Honestly I used Ruby about 6 years ago, but have been a python guy ever since. That said I believe Ruby's main advantage is its metaprogramming capabilities. You can build powerful DSLs in Ruby pretty quickly. Adding analytics to that could be useful in certain cases.

I'd like to see spark bindings first though before I would seriously consider it.

Hasn't been updated in a long time - no idea if that's because it's complete enough or if it's been abandoned, as I don't use Spark so I haven't tested this gem myself.
